Rejection is Hard (case)

Karthoofh looks like Umbara. It’s the first thing Hardcase noticed when they landed on its surface, and it puts the entire 501st on edge. There’s a few differences, of course. Umbara had zero direct sunlight, but Karthoofh has a sunrise once every five standard days; they’re on the Southern Hemisphere where daytime only lasts two hours, but it’s there. Also, Umbara has an ever-present chill that would almost be preferable to the suffocating humidity of their current planet.

(Following Hardcase and the rest of the 501st on an eerily familiar planet where tensions are high, and morale is low. Surely nothing bad can come of this.)
